Transition Patrol NX – 2018 Mountain Bike

How do you improve on mountain bike of the year? Easy, give it more control, more confidence and more party. Our most popular bike continues to push the boundaries of what is possible to ride on a long travel trail bike. An efficient well mannered ascender that immediately switches into pure party mode on the way down. Our all new Speed Balanced Geometry allows us to create a bike that improves front wheel traction going uphill while stabilizing steering and enhancing your ability to corner in almost any type of technical terrain. Speed Balanced Geometry SBG ensures the bike maintains low speed agility, front wheel traction, and proper rider weight balance while actually increasing confidence in steep terrain and at high speeds. With SBG, a slacker head tube angle is combined with a all new reduced offset fork standard, preventing the front wheel from being too far in front of the rider. This improves front to rear weight distribution on the bike, which is often out of balance on long and slack bikes. One of SBG’s greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed. More stability when going fast, more agility on technical slow speed maneuvering as well as improved traction, control and confidence for any skill level of rider.
